It is about time the West realised that these Islamic theocracies are not our allies, at least in any moral sense. Saudi Arabia is one of the most repressive and iniquitous nations on earth and the source of almost all of the leaders of the Al Qaeda movement, and yet the US and other Western nations continue to arm and fund this sickening dictatorship.

Good for you for picking this story up.The guy was headed here and it is a pity the NZ media have studiously ignored his plight.Usually anything in the international media with Nz on it is enough to get the shallow idiots into a self inflicted frenzy of parochialism.Al Jazeera have been running this story for a while so there's no excuse for our news rooms not to know of this.But then they're not really news ,they're infotainment.

Life of Brian.....I enjoyed it all those years ago ,but can't help feel that no one would do a similar one on Mohamed . So they qualify as hypocrites. Christianity is a soft touch.The other thing is at least that was comedy...this fellow may die a very violent death.

I too picked up on the original story and good on ya PC for highlighting it. Sure Saudi Arabia is run by bigoted subhuman religious assholes.... but this Malaysian decision to send the guy back is absolutely deplorable and they are almost as bad as the Saudis. I am waiting for screams of outrage from our government... waiting.... still waiting...

I agree with Kiwiwit. If it were not for the use of "naughty nasty infidel" technology (and the discovery of oil), the Saudis would still be savages wiping their backsides with stones in the desert.

I just say "thank goodness" for the work and research that the US military is doing with obtaining fuels from algae. They are getting into that on a ***massive*** scale. Hopefully, in a couple of decades' time, they (and the rest of us in the West) will be using this technology every day. The Saudis can then revert to doing what they do best - being savages.
